The STM Difference

Made with the finest in craftsmanship and quality, Solid Terrain Models offer important advantages for government planners:

Lightweight. At only 8 pounds per cubic foot, our models can be easily transported anywhere around the globe.

Portable. Depending on size, models can be designed for quick assembly and easy traveling, with an optional travel case that houses the model and all of the inserts for displaying the various phases of your mission.

Durable. We offer a choice of two long-lasting finishes. The standard Clear Lacquer is ideal for most applications. The TouchCoat™ finish is recommended for models that will be used in high traffic settings and will be frequently handled or touched.

Easy to clean. Both finishes are easily cleaned with mild soapy water and a damp cloth. You can even use a wet erase marker on our TouchCoat™ finish to erase sensitive information.

Most important, our models can be designed to fit your budget cost – an important consideration when concepting your next exhibition.

Gar Clarke, NM Geospatial & Broadband Program Mgr, New Mexico DoITBesides receiving a Solid Terrain Model of exceptional quality, working with STM was a great delight. Their staff is very skilled, patient, and creative; and the willingness that STM exhibited to provide solutions was beyond most companies.

Gillian Woolmer, Assistant Director, WCS CanadaI came across Solid Terrain Modeling at a mining conference and found their geospatially accurate 3D terrain models to be really cool! These physical models can be touched and held, making them great for interactive planning with communities.

Ron Smith, Boy Scout Master, Troop 406I want to thank your staff for taking the time to show our Scouts your facility & products. As you can tell by their questions, they were very interested in your facility, products, and skills. We thank you for answering all their questions, as we all found it very interesting how these maps are created. Nice facility and very impressive!

Alastair Meiklem, General Manager - Land, British Pacific Properties LimitedWe received the model late Friday and unpacked it yesterday morning… It is absolutely awesome! It’s even better than I had imagined; the 3D terrain resolution is incredible – you can see (and feel) way more features than I expected. The colours are great, the linework is great, and the overall appearance is very impressive. Well done, and thank you very much! We’ll definitely be using your services again!
